Summer has arrived in New York, but not all the city's open spaces will be open this year.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.With Memorial Day weekend kicking off the unofficial start of summer, New Yorkers can seek fun in the sun at the city’s 14 miles of beaches and 30,000 acres of public parks, pools, and playgrounds.
The entirety of the Rockaway Beach boardwalk and concessions will remain open throughout the summer, despite the construction. The lifeguard staffing shortage is limiting operating hours and special programming, according to parks officials. Private summer camps will not be granted swim permits for city pools because of the lifeguard shortfall.The Olympic-sized Astoria Pool will be closed all summer for renovations, though the spray showers next to the pool will be usable on hot days during the season.
For those who don’t want to go for a swim, playground sprinklers and splash pads are typically turned on once temperatures hit 80 degrees, according to the parks department.
